Kasahara Taping Treatment (in cases with foot pain)
Roll Bandage
Using a non-elastic bandage, wrap bandage around the sole of the foot 5 to 6 times. Be sure bandage reaches the base of the big and little toes.
For severe pain, wrap the bandage a few more times. Stop with paper tape to secure the bandage.
Heel Taping
Remove the center section of the paper backing.
Apply to heel at an angle without over-stretching.
The tape along the outer edge of the foot should be a bit longer than it is on the inside of the foot.
Big Toe Taping
Remove the paper backing from the uncut portion of tape and apply it to the bottom of the foot, overlapping the end of the heel tape, towards the inside of the foot.
Carefully pull your big toe outward and apply the middle section of tape to the side of the first joint of big toe, then apply remainder of tape in a circle t to the base of the big toe, making around without stretching it from behind.
Stretch over the above tape till the first joint of big toe and make a round from behind without stretching. Then, with the below tape, stretch over till the first joint and make a round from the front without stretching.
Little Toe Taping
Remove the paper backing of the uncut section of tape and apply it to the side of the little toe, slightly overlapping the heel tape.
Carefully pull your little toe outward and apply the outside tape along the side of the little toe, then wrap the remaining tape under the toe in a loop.
Carefully pull your little toe outward, using the inside tape, wrap around the little toe from the outside-in. Do not apply tape to the toenail.
Make a cut in Bandage
Using scissors, cut tape in a crescent shape above toe joints.

Sole Transverse Taping

Be careful not to stretch the tape over the top of the foot but only on the sole.

Be careful not to stretch the tape over the top of the foot but only on the sole.
Slipping preventive taping
Remove the center section of the paper backing.
Apply the tape from the heel towards the instep, slightly overlapping the heel tape, to prevent slippage of the bandage.
Be careful not to over-stretch the tape.
Basic Taping 2
Remove half of the paper backing from the tape.
Starting from the outside of the foot, wrap tape over the top then onto the bottom of the foot, slightly overlapping the “Basic Tape 1”

If you have questions regarding the taping method, we recommend making a treatment appointment.
Alternatively for the people with foot pain, the use of a non-elastic bandage and 3 toe socks in combination is recommended.
